Brain cancer survival
In the Brain Cancer Survival path there is new hope today, and this is simply great news. I love to post this sort of posts, and make me believe that my cancer blog can bring some good energy to people around the world.
So it seems that there is not a vaccine that can double the survival time for patiens, including in the most agrassive and serious type of brain caner.
This is the info
“Early results from clinical trials suggest patients who received the vaccine lived for nearly three years after being diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme.
Patients given traditional anti-cancer treatment, including a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, typically survived for a little more than a year following diagnosis”

A true story from a cancer patient
My name is Jacqui Hunt. In 2001 I was diagnosed with B cell non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, or lymphatic cancer.
I was told that there was no effective treatment for my condition and all that modern medicine could provide was to monitor the progress of the cancer and give chemotherapy to reduce symptoms when they became more severe. Chemotherapy could bring about temporary reduction in the condition but the cancer would inevitably return and the second time it would probably be much more aggressive.
After the initial shock of the diagnosis and a period of considerable fear, I set about dealing with the cancer in my own way using any type of alternative or integrative therapy that I thought might help.
Despite all my efforts the cancer did progress and by the middle of 2004 I had developed a tumour in my stomach measuring 13cm x 8cm x 4cm. It was palpable and measured by ultra sound scan. My stomach protruded as if I was 6 months pregnant and I could feel a strong pulse in my stomach over the tumour.
It was at this time that I was introduced to the Chinese herbs Agrimseng. The acupuncturist who was treating me had visited a cancer hospital in China and had learned of a combination of Chinese herbs that had been developed specifically to treat cancer. He asked me if I would be willing to try the herbs Agrimseng and I agreed, as I felt I had nothing to loose and much to gain. I was convinced the herbs were well researched and were completely safe with a great deal of ancient Chinese herbal knowledge behind them. As the herbs were gifted to me, part of the agreement to use them was that I would have ultra sound scans each six months to track the progress of the tumour.
By the end of 2004 at the same time that I started taking the herb Agrimseng I also began my training to become a qualified Mindbody Psychotherapist in Core Energetics, Australia.
Over the next few months I started to feel better. My energy levels increased and I somehow felt more positive in myself. My stomach began to feel more settled and seemed not to protrude quite as much. They were subtle changes. The scans were not showing much at first, although the depth of the tumour didn’t seem to be so easy to pick up and the radiologists stopped reporting that particular measurement.
One radiologist, who knew I had had no traditional treatment, became concerned when she couldn’t find a tumour of the size previously recorded. She thought she had made a mistake. But I already knew by this time that the tumour was reducing.
In the final session with the Oncologist in May 2006 he could find no palpable tumour, my stomach had returned to normal size and I was feeling very well. My spleen size which had been significantly increased had also returned to normal.
By June 2007, six years after diagnosis and at a time when the cancer would be expected to be spreading there is no sign of the tumour and I am fit and healthy. I believe that my return to good health was brought about by the use of the Agrimseng Herbs combined with extensive psychotherapy, in particular Mindbody psychotherapy, Both the Agrimseng herbs and the Mindbody psychotherapy work with the emotional body, and I believe it is at this level that we need to truly heal ourselves.
